the actress kate winslet joins calls for the uk government to do more to stop images of self harm spreading online. live from our studio in singapore, _ live from our studio in singapore, this - live from our studio in singapore, this is - live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc| live from our studio in- singapore, this is bbc news. it is newsdav _ england and france will meet in the world cup quarterfinals next saturday after both sides won their last 16 games in doha on sunday. england beat the african champions senegal england are the tournament's top scorers. they've now scored 12 times in their four matches so far. harry kane got england's second — his first of the competition while arsenal's bukayo saka got england's third to seal a comfortable win. nesta mcgregor was following the game at the stadium.
12:02 am
he gave us this reaction. i think what is interesting is in the years to come, and months when we look back at the tournament and see just the 3—0 scoreline it would look comfortable for england, but don't forget the first 35 minutes was cagey and nervous and senegal could have taken the lead twice very early on and it would have been much different. but as you mentioned, jude bellingham pivotal and crucial to that first goal, a free—flowing run and then across forjordan henderson for the easiest tap—in. phil foden assisted harry kane, who scored his first of the tournament and bukayo saka got his third goal in the world cup, taking england's goal tally to 12, they have never scored more goals in a world cup either, albeit six coming against iran. senegal�*s fans were a credit to the team today. i was inside the stadium and 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, it didn't matter, they sang, were beating drums,
12:03 am
they blew trumpets for the entire 90 minutes. so i think if the football team is going to be a miss, the fans are going to be an even bigger miss. it was an amazing atmosphere. france beat poland 3—1 earlier as they look to win the torunament for a second successive time. star of the show was kylian mbappe as olly foster now reports. poland not half as bad as we thought they were going to be. they limped through the group stages to set up this last 16 tie against the french, the strong favourites, of course. and it is the scoreline, the result that we expected. that it was very tight at half—time, olivier giroud had given the french the lead just before the break, his 52nd goal for his country. and that sees him overtake the great thierry henry, so olivier giroud a happy man this evening, he is now france's record goal—scorer. but you know what?
12:04 am
kylian mbappe is fast going to catch up and perhaps will one day hold that record himself. it was a far quieter second half for the first sort of 20 minutes also, but then mbappe, you cannot keep a good man down. we were there, weren't we, in russia four years ago in moscow when mbappe really came to the fore, he was a teenager at that world cup in 2018, scoring four goals including in the final as well. well, he has now scored five in qatar, the first man to score that many goals before the age of 2a since the great pele. and, of course, everybody in the world of football, their thoughts are with pele who is very ill at the moment back home in brazil. but it was mbappe�*s night, two wonderful strikes to put the french 3—0. the poles kept at it and it was one of those handballs which glanced off a shoulder, an arm from upamecano, the french defender. they looked at var,
12:05 am
they gave it to poland. hugo lloris, the french captain, actually saved the first effort but he was way off his line and robert lewandowski stepped up to make it, well, a bit of a consolation, that's all it was for poland. they never deserved to go through. so it's the french who go through 3—1. incidentally, hugo lloris, his 142nd appearance for france, that's a joint record with lilian thuram. so a night of records, but you just know the headlines on monday will be killian mbappe, another wonderful evening for him here in qatar, he's up to five for the tournament. earlier i caught up with sportsjournalist callum bell to get his reaction to the england senegal game. senegal could have gone one if not 2—0 up in the first 35 minutes. they created the opportunities but they couldn't take them, that is the difference between them and england. england took their chances, jordan henderson with the opening goal, it was a one touch finish
12:06 am
past the goalkeeper. you don't think senegal would do that in the same situation and they didn't, ultimately. they ultimately just lost goals at really bad times. you could argue obviously there is no good time to lose a goal but there are worse times than others and just on the stroke of half—time to lose that goal to make it 2—0 completely changes the team talk, completely changes the dressing room at half—time. it is really hard to come back from. 1—0, you still have a bit of gumption, you can really fight for something in the second half but not being clinical, losing goals at bad times is really senegal�*s downfall. they are going to face france which is a hard team to beat, what should we expect? i think you should expect goals. i think both teams have incredible front lines. kylian mbappe is sensational. today there were times when he got the ball and there was nothing on and he makes the situation out of nothing. england are the same, jude bellingham in midfield would be great.
12:07 am
marcus rashford came off the bench, he is one who can get goals, harry kane likes to drop in deeper as a playmaker but he can still score. i am going to put my scotland cap back on and i think france mightjust edge it. so here's a reminder of the rest of those last 16 matches. tournament favourites brazil are in action on monday but as you can see plenty of interest for our asian viewers on monday with both japan and south korea hoping to cause upsets. we'll have more on them later in the show. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. south africa's president, cyril ramaphosa, has said it is up to the governing party to decide his future, as allegations of misconduct continue to swirl around him. he's accused of keeping millions of dollars in cash at his farm and failing to report that it was stolen. his spokesman has said he will not resign. iran's attorney general has said
12:08 am
the morality police — which enforces the strict islamic dress code — is being disbanded after a wave of anti—government protests. the decision has not been confirmed by other government departments in iran, including the interior ministry. three chinese astronauts have returned to earth after living for six months on an orbiting space station. their shenzhou 1a spaceship landed as planned in inner mongolia. the astronauts completed the assembly of the space station before handing it over to another crew. all three are said to be in good health. ten men are due to go on trial in brussels this week, in connection with the suicide bombings on the city in 2016, that killed 32 people. the attacks at the main airport and on the metro, were the deadliest on belgian soil since the second world war. nearly a thousand survivors
12:09 am
and relatives of victims of the brussels atrocity, will be represented in court, as our europe correspondent, nick beake reports. there has been an attack on the metro and just as soon i heard that, you know, you can feel the bottom fall out of your world. it is six years now since terror shattered cha rlotte�*s life. she and her partner david had made brussels home and it's where they were bringing up their son henry. three days after the suicide bombings on the city, a belgian police social worker rang her. it was dark, i was walking the dog around the streets, and she told me that david wasn't one of the living, and i had to prepare for the worst. it was a phone call? it was a phone call, yeah, to say, basically, your partner is dead. david was the only british victim.
12:10 am
one of 16 people murdered on the metro. an hour earlier, 16 others had been killed at the main airport. charlotte channelled her grief into campaigning for victims of terror and wants to travel from the uk to the brussels trial to make a statement. i think having david appear in that court and being able to draw a picture of david by someone who really loved him, it will give me some peace because in this process he is basically a victim, person, a list of injuries, fatal injuries, a place where he was found. she was like an angel, she was beautiful, and when we talk about love, loubna talk. loubna was mohamed's wife. he said he wanted to create a jihad of love after she was murdered in the attacks. his home is still in
12:11 am
the molenbeek area where some of the accused lived and were sheltered. translation: i sincerely hope that terrorists will take - the path of redemption because for me to condemn them as they are with the same ideas in their head, that would be a failure for all of us. i am terrified about what the trial will bring. it could do so much damage because it would throw us back into the biggest crisis of our lives. so i will stay away. charlotte will be there, though, with a message. they destroyed some of us but we come together and we're stronger and that's why they won't win. nick beake, bbc news, brussels. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme...we'll examine how six teams from the asian federations reached the finals of the world cup.
12:12 am
john lennon was shot at the entrance to the dakota building in the centre of new york. there has been a crowd here standing in more or less silent vigil, and the flowers have been piling up. the 14th ceasefire of this war ended at the walls of the old city of dubrovnik. this morning, witnesses said shells were landing every 20 seconds. people are celebrating the passing of a man they hold responsible for hundreds of deaths and oppression. elsewhere, people have been gathering to mourn his passing. imelda marcos, the widow of the former president of the philippines, has gone on trial in manila. she is facing seven charges of tax evasion, estimated at £120 million. she pleaded not guilty. the prince and princess of wales are to separate. a statement from buckingham
12:13 am
palace said the decision had been reached amicably. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm monica miller in singapore. our headlines... england's footballers have secured a place in the world cup quarter finals after beating senegal 3—0. england will face a mouthwatering tie against france in the quarterfinals, after the defending champions beat poland. now, this is the first world cup where six teams from the asian federations have reached the finals. qatar as hosts while saudi arabia, iran, japan and south korea came through qualifying. they were joined by australia who won a play off to reach doha. each of the teams has made an impact on the competuition — shaimaa khalil has been looking at the efforts of the three teams from the asia pacific regaion —japan, south korea
12:14 am
and australia who were knocked out on saturday by argentina it has been a tournament of high emotion and high drama. so far, the asia pacific teams have delivered some of the most extraordinary moments. melbourne's federation square erupted in celebration last week with australian fans in raptures as their side beat denmark to secure a place in the knockout stages. for those who have travelled all the way from down under, it was all worth it. even though australia's dreams have been dashed by argentina, they go home and proud squad. better than we expected, domestically. for those of us here, we always viewed the round of 16 is the goal, so, yeah, pretty happy. i feel incredibly proud. these boys have come from not a strong football nation and they have worked their guts out.
12:15 am
we don't have their history that some of the south american and european teams have but maybe it is the start of a new legacy. that is what the world cup is about, right? it is about bringing teams that wouldn't ordinarily have been on the big stage, bringing them to the big stage. it was tears of delight and disbelief as their team got to the knockout stages, beating beating cristiano ronaldo's portugal 2—1. japan has been an astounding presence in this tournament, they beat the 2010 world cup winners spain, making it to the last 16, and kicking the four—time world champions germany out as they landed on top of their group. the samurai blue are taking nothing for granted as they get ready to face croatia. the performance of these teams may have taken their opponents by surprise by their success
12:16 am
so far was not by chance. the reasons they are doing well is the background of the players, they have now the experience with the european football, and they are learning quite a lot of things, not only techniques and tactics but also the mental side as well. so that has added some kind of changes to that football and which has kind of put everything together. these asia—pacific teams have given their fans are so much to cheer for and have left some of the biggest squads in the world scratching their heads at times. they have been fearless on the pitch and many are now asking whether this could be the start of a new era of football. with the socceroos out, there are two games that could potentially deliver more jaw—dropping upsets. win or lose, those teams have
12:17 am
proved themselves worthy opponents against the giants of the game. earlier i spoke to paul letters, founder of a website called not your average england fan. he hasjoined us in doha, where he's been at tonight's england—senegal game with his son. and we started with his emotions on the game. we only got back about 20 minutes ago, my flatmates and my sonjames here, yeah, great night, and a bit of a tense beginning to the game but once england got going, they really got going. now, you have been given companion tickets, tell us what that is and who you have been inviting to the matches. yes, so i am a wheelchair user and once i realised i would be fortunate enough to be here for the entirety of the world cup and get tickets for a lot of games,
12:18 am
they were about £11 for group games for a ticket for me, and then i get a free ticket with that for a companion, and my sonjoined me a couple of days ago but before that i went to seven or eight games and i was thinking about the ethical issues of the migrant workers, like you said, and how could i do something, however small, and, yeah, it then seemed obvious that i've got these spare tickets and i made contact with migrant workers, for example when i landed at doha airport, there was a young man from kenya who was the airport porter, we landed at four o'clock in the morning and it took two hours for them to retrieve my wheelchair and he was with me patiently and calmly all the way, and he is a passionate football fan, i asked him his favourite team, he said england, so i took him to the england iran game and, yeah, had a great time there. and what are some of the stories they have been
12:19 am
telling you about their experience in qatar? yes, i have taken six or seven migrant workers to games and i have also talked to others, so they have told me, and i won't use any of their real names of anyone but from countries such as uganda and kenya, they in effect are indentured workers, they are contracted out here, the world is told they get a minimum wage since the fifa and the world cup got involved an international labour organisation stepped in, but that is a headline figure, they would only get that figure if they worked seven days a week, never had a day off, did two hours extra per day, so over time every day which meant they wouldn't get paid for it, so in reality, none of them get this supposedly minimum wage
12:20 am
that we are told they get. and they live in six or eight in a room, they don't even have a fridge, normally, so very little in the way of facilities. but the sad truth is that at least in some cases, when i asked if you knew the reality before you left uganda or kenya, would you still come? and many say yes because it is better than the alternative back at home. a leading british politician has said he'd like to see images of self harm made illegal on the internet. the comments from the conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi come as british lawmakers prepare to debate new legislation on monday. the actress kate winslet has also entered the debate
12:21 am
about online harm ahead of a hard hitting tv drama inspired by the death of a british teenager, molly russell. the bbc�*s angus crawford reports. perhaps more than any other, it's molly russell's story that has influenced the online safety bill and alerted parents to the potential power of social media to do harm. molly took her own life after being exposed to a stream of negative content. what's the matter? nothing. now a powerful new drama about the damage of online addiction, destroying family relationships. stop. you are driving me to do this! starring kate winslet and her daughter, mia. i really do struggle with social media, i struggle with the impact it is clearly having on teenage mental health, i do wish that our government would crack down on it. i do wish there would be certain platforms which were banned before
12:22 am
a certain age. and she wants accountability. parents are left flailing. "well, thank you so much, government, look whatjust happened to my child." and how can you possibly tell me that, "oops, it's not my fault?" there are people shirking responsibility all the time. online safety bill does... the answer might be the online safety bill. delayed... ..and amended. it's taken years but will be back before the commons tomorrow. it contains new clauses, criminal offences around pornography and self—harm content, but dropped are plans for ministers to decide what legal material should be classified as harmful for adults and be taken down by the platforms. although today the conservative party chairman seemed to want a further tightening of the rules. what we have to do for both children and adults, i think, is make sure things like self—harm images should be illegal, and that is how you deal with them. but the right balance to strike
12:23 am
is between free speech and freedom of expression as well as dealing with this. labour, though, wants to bring back the legal but harmful clause. if you look at what that is around, its russian disinformation, misogynistic organising online, the sort of so—called incel culture. there is a lot out there in the online space that i think goes beyond the impact on children and young people. who is messaging you at that time of night anyway? that's all we have for now. drama which reflects real—world concerns about social media. and in front of mps, a complex bill years in the making, dividing opinion, trying to right that balance between family and big tech. angus crawford, bbc news. authorities in indonesia have issued their highest warning in the east of java island, over a new eruption by the mount semeru volcano.
12:24 am

12:26 am
in the seychelles in 1832, and now lives on the island of st helena — the oldest known living land animal. now blind, and lacking a sense of smell, he still enjoys eating and sleeping, and spending time with hello there. last week, the weather story was dominated with low cloud, mist and fog. this week, however, is quite a significant gear change to something a little bit more wintry. certainly turning colder. but yes, there's going to be a chance of snow. more on that in just a moment. widespread frost as well for all of us. so, last week we were under the influence of this area of high pressure. but, over the next few days we can track the isobars back to the north. the wind direction changing, and that will introduce this colder air. not quite there during monday. more of a northeasterly flow. monday will be a lot of low grey cloud. a cold day. some showers spilling off the east coast and filtering a little bit further west. not that much sunshine around. favoured spots, western
12:27 am
scotland and northern ireland with highs of five to eight celsius. so, the wind direction starting to drag down that cold arctic air. as we move through tuesday, particularly tuesday night to wednesday. so for tuesday, the emphasis to the showers changes a little. along those exposed north coasts, still running along the east coast. and some pushing down through the irish sea as well. in between, there will be some sunshine around on tuesday. still another cold day. now those clear skies by day will lead to a very cold night. widespread temperatures down to minus two degrees. so, a hard frost to greet pretty much all of us first thing on wednesday morning. and that's when we're going to start to see the risk of some snow showers. particularly into the far north of scotland. a veil of cloud sinking its way steadily south. central and southern areas the best of the sunshine. but the met office has issued an early warning for snow on wednesday. we could see as much as 2—10cm settling even at lower levels
12:28 am
as we go through the day. and it's turning noticeably colder on wednesday. temperatures struggling just a few degrees above freezing. factor in the wind, probably feeling more like —2 to —3 along those exposed northeastern areas. then as we move into wednesday we need to keep a close eye on the area of low pressure. the position of that low is going to influence where we are likely to see some wintry showers. but we could see some wintry showers through the southwest. and potentially along that east coast. if the low tracks a little bit further west. there would be more showers coming in further england. but again staying cold.
12:30 am
at the top of the hour was as newsday continues straight after hard talk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur and today i'm in beautiful northern california to meet the man once described by henry kissinger as the most dangerous in america. in 1971, that man, my guest daniel ellsberg, leaked the so called pentagon papers.
